Young 'techies' tackle development challenges

About this episode

Tech solutions, even those created by young people, could tackle development challenges on the continent. 

In this episode of the Africa Science Focus podcast, reporter Aneta Felix speaks with two young innovators, Olivia Chizaram Obi from Nigeria and Sharon Kemunto from Kenya, who recently participated in a global tech competition.

They give us insights into their innovations, and discuss the potential impact on their communities.

The podcast also explores the behind-the-scenes journey of competition preparation with parents and mentors. 

David Jinad, a Nigerian software engineer, tells us how these young innovations can grow Africa's technology sector.
